| New Qobuz User Comments I'm very pleased with the SQ and performance of Qobuz. I did trials of Deezer and Tidal and since I listen to classical music, I chose Qobuz which has the deepest catalogue. The hires sounds terrific. Admittedly, it is lacking in the rock genre.Co... | |
| High Fidelity Cables MC-0.5 Effect Since I live in a city and my system has always suffered from noise from the grid I'm now using a balanced power conditioner (EquiCore). It provides a black background and the level of detail and depth is a major improvement.But adding the MC-05 h... | |

| Best audio tweak ever, especially for the over 60s https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0017QT84A/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_IOcmDb7DW72YPRecommended by my internist when he couldn't see thru all the wax in my ear. | |
| What was your first big eye opener with regard to audio? I made many discoveries which helped educate me thru auditions at Hifi shops.The major eye-opener in my own system was the purchase of high quality aftermarket power cords. Sometimes adding a PC to a component has been transformational.But in the ... | |
| Ended my Qobuz subscription I'm staying with Qobuz for now. I listen to 80% classical and find their catalogue to be vast and seems to be growing daily. Tidal is way behind in this area, but I didn't realise they had so much jazz. Tidal beats Qobuz with its rock selection b... | |

| Which Preamp Tube is most consequential: Input or Gain Input gain stage vs. cathode follower. | |
| Which Preamp Tube is most consequential: Input or Gain @peterf6 , ok thanks for your comments. That’s a different layout than preamps I’ve owned. Typically, tube circuit is L R in front. And of course, Ralph (atmasphere) is correct. | |
| Which Preamp Tube is most consequential: Input or Gain Place your best tubes on the right hand side forward and rearWhy would you install the new tubes in the right channel gain and cathode follower?The new tubes go in L and R channel, either front or back.Front would be the gain stage, unless Freya h... | |
| High Fidelity Cables MC-0.5 Effect @jerrybj I also bought a discounted 0.5 from Audiogon. I think the buzzing from my amp caused the harshness in my system on my earlier audition. So amp is in the shop.Good on ya, @nonoise . |
